Thanks to Thaddeus Matthews.Com, a successful Memphis Blogger, which was the first media source to announce that Superintendent Milton Hawkins will be the next Pastor of Temple of Deliverance Church of God in Christ in Memphis,Tennessee! This was announced on Sunday July 15,2007 by Bishop Jerry L. Maynard during morning worship services at Temple Of Deliverance that Supt. Milton R. Hawkins has been selected to replace his uncle the late Gilbert Earl Patterson. Hawkins is presently pastor of the New Jerusalem C.O.G.I.C. in Detroit. The appointment becomes official in September and he’s expected to be installed in mid October. Preach Stephen.Com will be one of many media sources and blogs to announce this over the coming days. He will succeed his late uncle, The Bishop Gilbert E. Patterson. Let’s pray for this to be a successful transition!
